IPCEI Projects (Cloud and Microelectronics): ERDF funds incorporated as a new financing source

Order TDF/1027/2026 amends the regulatory framework of the 'UNICO IPCEI' programme to allow future calls for proposals to utilise European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) resources in addition to Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) funds (intro). This amendment establishes distinct management, monitoring, and control regimes depending on the funding source used (intro). Furthermore, new environmental assessment commitments are introduced for the subsidised activities (art. 8.9.h).

In 3 key points

  1. The CID #242 milestone for subsidies financed with RRF funds has a deadline of 30 June 2026, art. 7.2 (art. 7.2)
  2. ERDF is incorporated as a funding source for future calls under the UNICO IPCEI programme, intro (intro)
  3. Obligation to comply with environmental assessment procedures according to current legislation, art. 8.9.h (art. 8.9.h)

How it affects those involved

For companies participating in cloud services (IPCEI-CIS) and microelectronics (IPCEI-MICRO) projects, funding availability is expanded through the integration of ERDF, allowing investments to be directed towards disadvantaged areas lacking cloud capabilities (intro). Beneficiaries of RRF funds must adhere to strict deadlines linked to milestone CID #242, with a compliance deadline of 30 June 2026 (art. 7.2). Companies must ensure compliance with environmental assessment procedures in accordance with current legislation to maintain their subsidies (art. 8.9.h).
